Claims against Nicolas Cage have been dismissed from Christina Fulton’s lawsuit against him and his son Weston Coppola Cage, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Monday, March 10. Fulton’s lawsuit alleged that Cage, 61, ignored their 34-year-old son Weston’s mental-health concerns and instead enabled Weston’s alleged behavior before his physical attack on her in April 2024. While Cage has been dismissed from the lawsuit, claims against Weston remain. An attorney for Fulton, 57, filed the request for dismissal. Since the claims were dismissed with prejudice, Fulton can no longer pursue the claim against Cage. Cage’s attorney recently called the allegations “absurd and frivolous,” adding, “Weston Coppola is a 34-year-old man. Mr. Cage does not control Weston’s behavior in any manner and is not responsible for Weston’s alleged assault of his mother.” Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human-interest stories. Weston and Fulton were allegedly involved in a verbal dispute that turned physical on April 28, 2024. At the time, Fulton denied reports that she and her son argued. Instead, she said he experienced a “mental-health crisis” and that she was trying to get him help. Weston was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon that July and released on bond. Following his arrest, Fulton said she was “brutally assaulted,” stating “it is imperative” that Weston “receives the help he desperately needs.” In her lawsuit, Fulton accused Cage of failing to intervene and help their son. Fulton sued Cage for negligent supervision and negligent undertaking, and Weston for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress. She also sued Cage and Weston for negligence. If you or someone you know needs mental-health help, text “STRENGTH” to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741 to be connected to a certified crisis counselor.
